Can anyone help me. For some reason my passenger side OEM LED tail light has a couple red lights where it should be orange (top right corner). Does anyone have any idea why that is? Did i not connect the wire tight enough? Any help would be appreciated..

 

This is Ryans face

Seems like a couple of the LEDs have either failed, or are malfunctioning. I forget now if these LEDs are multi-colored, or they use a set for the red and a set for the amber. If it's a dual color system, it's a failed set of ambers, which could be next to impossible to access, unless you're prepared to dig into the lights.

Damn that sucks, thanks for your help. I dont know what to do to fix this, will try reconnecting wires and see if that helps.

Yes these are OEM Valeo tail lights.

How is that possible?? How can they make such a mistake for such an expensive part?
